6 Therefore hath the curse devoured Eretz, and they that dwell therein are guilty; therefore, the inhabitants of her [the earth] are diminished, and few enosh (humankind) left.
7 The tirosh (new wine) faileth, the gefen languisheth, all the simchei-lev (merryhearted) do sigh.
8 The mirth of tambourines ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the kinnor (harp) ceaseth.
9 They shall not drink yayin with a shir (song); shekhar (liquor, strong drink) shall be bitter to them that drink it.
10 The city of tohu is broken; every bais is shut up, that no man may come in.
11 There is a crying for yayin in the streets; all simchah is darkened, the mirth of HaAretz is banished.
12 In the Ir is left desolation, and the sha'ar is stricken with ruination.
